rial Chapel, courteously offered for the uses of the Commission. 

On 19 June, 1909, the Massachusetts Society of Sons of the 
American Eevolution here dedicated the Massachusetts Bay of 
the Cloister of the Colonies at Valley Forge, to which edifice the 
Society had contributed about $2,000. It is less than a mile away 
from the Massachusetts Military Monument, just without the Park 
limits of the Pennsylvania Valley Forge Park. 



8 INTRODUCTORY. 



The delegation remained long enough at the Memorial on 18 
JSTov., 1911, for Mr. J. S. Kennedy and the photographer of the 
P-J Press Bureau, 908 Walnut St., Philadelphia, to secure photo- 
graphs. Here Chaeles Ikving Thayer, Esq., in behalf of the 
Massachusetts Society of Sons of the Eevolution, placed a large 
and beautiful wreath at the base of the bronze tablet of the granite 
exhedra erected by Massachusetts, this day dedicated. 

The weather was such as to prevent an open-air programme. 

MASSACHUSETTS DAY AT VALLEY FORGE. — DEDICATION 
OF THE MASSACHUSETTS MARKER. 

Unfortunately neither Governor Foss of Massachusetts nor Gov- 
ernor Tener of Pennsylvania was present. The Hon. J. Stearns 
Gushing acted in behalf of the Governor of Massachusetts and Mr. 
William H. Sayen, President of the Valley Forge Park Commis- 
sion, represented the Governor of Pennsylvania. By the appoint- 
ment of Governor Poss the Eev. Mr. W. Herbert Burk was the chap- 
lain of the day. 

The exercises at the Chapel were in charge of Mr. Thomas 
Franklin Pedrick, Sergeant-at-Arms, Massachusetts House of Rep- 
resentatives, who, after the opening prayer by the Rev. W. Herbert 
Burk, called up Mr. William H. Sayen, president of the Pennsjd- 
vania Valley Forge Park Commission, to make the address of wel- 
come. This he did in the place of Governor John K. Tener, of 
Pennsylvania. President Sayen was very happy in his words of 
welcome. He welcomed not only those from the great Common- 
wealth of Massachusetts, but also those from the great United 
States, if any were present. He said that he should have preferred 
that the Governor of Pennsylvania were in his place extending the 
welcome, but that he extended as hearty a welcome as his feeble 
voice could utter. 

On behalf of the Bay State, Hon. Arthur S. Adams of Marble- 
head, member of the State Senate, responded telling how glad he was 
to do so on behalf of his associates and the citizens and declared 
the Massachusetts monument at Valley Forge idea emanated from 
his predecessor in office from the Marblehead district; and tittingly, 
too, for Gen. John Glover, who commanded a brigade of Massachu- 
setts troops who were encamped on the present site of the monu- 
ment, was a native of Marblehead. He said that Massachusetts 
stands to-day, as in 1776, shoulder to shoiilder with Pennsylvania. 

Gen. Philip Eeade, United States Army, the orator of the day, 



■Jh^igt^/. 




INTRODUCTORY. 9 



who is a retired army officer, made an address ringing with patriot- 
ism. He is president of the Massachusetts Valley Forge Monument 
Commission and at the conclusion of his address he turned over the 
monument to the State of Massachusetts. General Eeade said, in 
part : — 

Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. 

There is kinship binding Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The word 
" Kinship " means a great deal. These commonwealths corresponded 
in 1775, courted in 1776, became engaged the following year, and wed 
in 1778. Five generations ago, at Valley Forge, soldiers from these 
united commonwealths here drank from the same canteen. There is 
never a bond like this. " There are bonds of all sorts in this world 
of ours ; fetters of friendship and ties of flowers, and true lovers' knots, 
I ween. The boy and girl are bound by a kiss, but there never was a 
bond, my friends, like this: We have drunk from the same canteen." 

Here the Colonial E evolutionary forces first learned the meaning of 
the word " Comrade." 

In the algid winter of 1777-78, here, in the Schuylkill Valley, Massa- 
chusetts and Pennsylvania shared together the blanket of snow, the 
canopy of ice, the pangs of hunger, the labors, material privations, 
destitutions, factions of the bivouac, cantonment and subsequent camp. 
Representatives of the communities respectively founded by William 
Peun and stern soldiers from the then far off Bay State whose Brad- 
fords chronicled soldiers in both commonwealths; here, then, filled the 
gap between Saratoga and Monmouth; were hammered, shaped, drilled 
and disciplined into that unity of action with other Continental troops 
essential for success at Freehold sis months later. 

Whether in months of patient endurance or days of active campaign; 
periods of martial faith, unaccompanied by the stimulus of combat; or 
stiffened and frosted by December's wintry blasts, or June's blistering, 
searing sun, here at Valley Forge and thereafter those from the state 
whose capital bell had proclaimed " Liberty throughout the land, and 
to the inhabitants thereof " ; and those from the state whose embattled 
farmers had " fired the shot heard round the world " ; those whose 
mention is made in part, here where the granite and bronze markers 
erected by the generosity and gratitude of Pennsylvania to its pa- 
triotic revolutionists learned to know and to respect one another. A 
majority of the newly-assembled troops at Valley Forge were without 
cohesion, organization or leadership. During the winter of 1777-78 
Washington changed all this before six months had elapsed. 

Massachusetts was foremost in shaping the thirteen links of the chain 
now numbering more than thrice that number of states of this nation. 
These links were inseparably forged on the banks of the Schuylkill, 
the Delaware, the Hudson and the York. Pennsylvania owns two of 



10 INTRODUCTORY. 



these rivers. When the " Yankees " came here to join the " Buektails," 
they may have been somewhat alien in interests, but the melting pot 
of Valley Forge resulted in oneness. 

To the markers, cenotaphs, statues and boulders of Pennsylvania and 
our then jDrovinee of Maine, Ave, to-day, add an exhedra contributed 
by Massachusetts for dedication and formal acceptance. I believe that 
the approval of the creators of this Republic, founded by the Colonists 
and preserved by the men of 1861-65, is with us now. 

When Acton claimed excess of credit over Concord for the drum- 
beating affair of April 19, 1775, statesmen solved the rival claims of 
the towns by saying " that Concord furnished the ground, but Acton 
furnished the men for the Lexington fight." 

We of Massachusetts are here to-day for two purposes, one of which 
is to thank Pennsylvania for furnishing the area and arena within the 
limits of which, at the most critical joeriod of the history of the nation, 
Massachusetts statesmen and soldiers settled the question of ability to 
maintain by diplomatic equity and the arbitrament of war what Inde- 
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, had Continentally jDroclaimed as the in- 
alienable right of the Colonies. 

The fate of the Revolution rested here. Valley Forge was the blood- 
less, pivotal battle of the Revolution. It marked the disaiDi3earance of 
the States militia short-term levy. 

There are some in this assembly from Massachusetts who have made 
a pilgrimage to Petersburg, Virginia. Some of these delegates to that 
other monument, dedicated last Monday, belong to that Grand Army 
of the Republic whose comrades dedicated their physical, mental and 
spiritual effort five decades ago to the maintenance of the Union created 
by the Revolutionists. 

Their every respiration, every pulse beat, every waking thought is 
here equally consecrated to the nation which they saved from disin- 
tegration. Allied with them to-day at this Mecca of patriotic Ameri- 
cans are some, not comrades of the G. A. R., but who now serve the 
state whose iDroclamations are " God save the Commonwealth of Massa- 
chusetts." 

All here are vibrant with deej^ undertones of reminiscence. Kinship 
exists between these jointly conducted memorial services; time will 
neither extinguish or chill it. 

The monuments at Petersburg and at Valley Forge have a common 
ancestry. There are no contending subtle .currents. 

The astonishing thing is that our mother commonwealths have waited 
until now to realize how much in love we are. The monuments are 
eloquently silent. The inscriptions graved into the Egyj^tian obelisk 
in New York are as undeciiiherable to some as the aboriginal inscrip- 
tions on Dighton Rock; but there is no misundei'standing regarding the 
letterings now on our twin monument. 



INTRODUCTORY. 11 



Life's race well run, 
Life's work well done, 
Life's crown well won. 
Now Cometh rest. 

Rest, but not oblivion, so long as these granite and bronze outward 
testimonials of inward reverence shall endure. 

Confidence exists that to the unborn generations this memorial tablet 
will be a message from the Massachusetts soldiers at Valley Forge. 

Unfortunately, this is not enough. The resurrection of the names 
on this bronze tablet is not enough. Further adequate tribute to the 
Massachusetts dead should come from the State by chronicling their 
records. Such publication would be in the nature of a pension for 
their doings. Exaggeration weakens any cause, but surely these men 
were the grandsires of the Civil War soldiers. Their records should 
be alike cared for. This memorial is merely a crypt or cenotaph. The 
history of Valley Forge has never been printed. Its literature only 
exists in manuscript form. We owe this further tribute to these sol- 
diers. Each of the Colonies unrepresented here by state monuments 
should, by adequate appropriations, rescue from oblivion the records 
a^the Revolutionary creators. 

/ Valley Forge did not publish any newspaper. The soldiers had no 
(war correspondent or photographer to chronicle or perpetuate their 
Xloings or environments. Washington's army at first was without dis- 
cipline, experience in concert, money or military supplies. The system 
of recruiting had led to the appointment of some incompetent officers. 
Jealousies, a cabal, and disputes combined to still further impair the 
efficiency of the troops. The materials were discordant at first. There 
was a lack of co-ordination between the states and the Continental 
Congress, which, at first, lacked unifying force, as well as resources, 
to back its resolves. Friction was inevitable, and the soldiers suffered 
in discipline and health. Hunger causes overt acts. / 

Valley Forge was the melting pot of thirteen colonies. Six months 
made out of thirteen colonial armies one Continental army. Valley 
Forge built uj?, Americanized, and created our national, permanent, 
military establishment. 

Valley Forge is the first place where troops from all the thirteen 
colonies were mobilized for unity and acquaintance; but the camp 
has never been described by historians in proportion or perspective. 
A great ideal is the strongest factor in human affairs — but the thought 
and feeling of the thirteen state forces focalized at Valley Forge, the 
winter of 1777-78, were not in unison until after the experiences there 
had. It was the flint-loek period. Sparks followed attrition of North- 
ern flint and Southern steel. 

There was not in the Continental army any NajDoleon, Grant, Sher- 
man, Sheridan or Thomas holding an obscure position to overtop 



12 INTRODUCTORY. 



Washington. He built his own ladder, climbed it. Later, he refused 
a crown. 

Esprit-de-eorps was at first lacking at Valley Forge. It was not a 
complex problem. There were two issues. Should the soldiers take 
orders from their respective states, or from Washington? 

The Lexington shot has been heard of around the world and results 
and causes have been examined with a microscope, but historically 
Valley Forge troops have not been heard of or examined save through 
the inverted end of a sjDy glass. 

Massachusetts was the home, birthiolaee and cradle of Revolutionary 
armed resistances. This commonwealth became the citadel from whence 
came the men, and, largely, the material from which the other colonies 
got the resources necessary for the promotion and success of that Revo- 
lution. 

Hon J. Stearns Gushing, one of the two members of Governor 
Eugene Poss's Executive Gouncil, acted in the Governor's absence in 
receiving the monument on behalf of the State. He complimented 
General Eeade and the others of the monument commission for their 
splendid work, declaring that the monument was a work of art and 
unique as well. He said, as General Eeade once said, the circular 
form of the monument was like a mother's arms extended to take 
care of her children. Mr. Gushing showed his State pride and 
patriotism when he held to the idea that Faneuil Hall, in Boston, 
was the real Cradle of Liberty, but was willing to admit that the 
trundle bed of Liberty was Independence Hall, Philadelphia. The 
speaker then turned the monument over to the Pennsylvania Valley 
Porge Park Commission, hoping that Pennsylvania would care for 
it and cherish it as it ought — as is due those boys and those men 
who left their homes in Massachusetts and helped to build up a 
government. 

President Sayen accepted the monument on behalf of the State 
of Pennsylvania and of the Valley Forge Park Commission. He 
said : — 

Commissioners and Citizens of Massachusetts : — I feel in ad- 
dressing you almost as though I were addressing the minute men of '76, 
as you are all the descendants of that noble band of patriots, who, at 
Concord and Lexington, began the fight for liberty which culminated 
in success at Valley Forge. As at Gettysburg the charge of Pickett's 
Brigade culminated the success of the war for the Union, so at Valley 
Forge the conversion of a body of raw and untrained militia into a 
drilled body of veterans by the skill of Baron Steuben, culminated the 
success of the war for Liberty, as Washington never lost a battle with 



INTRODUCTORY. 13 



these troops, after he left Valley Forge. You have chosen to com- 
memorate your heroes of the Revolution with a monument of imperish- 
able stone. Where now lie buried the countless warriors of Assyria? 
Who knows? Where are buried the legions of Caesar? Who knows? 
To-day the savants of the world are striving to decipher on monuments 
cf stone the names and deeds of a few hundred heroes who lived 3,000 
or 4,000 years ago. Who knows but that in 3,000 or 4,000 years hence 
a new nation, a new people perhaps will be striving to decipher on this 
very stone the names of the patriots you have caused to be placed 
thereon? 

Commissioners and citizens of Massachusetts, I accept in the name 
of the great State of Pennsylvania, from the great State of Massachu- 
setts, this monument of imperishable stone erected by you to the mem- 
ory of your heroes of the Revolution. 

The orator of the day was Brig. Gen. Philip Eeade, IT. S. A., 
Chairman of the Massachusetts Military Monument Commission, 
whose devoted services in the erection of this State monument were 
recognized by this appointment. General Eeade said in part : — 

Henry Knox, Rufus Putnam, Thos. Nixon and these men became 
entitled to this monument one hundred and thirty-four years ago. This 
granite and bronze merely suggests their merits and doings. No hostile 
shot was here fired by them. Their mission was unification, with 
Steuben as Washington's Von Moltke and Alexander Hamilton as his 
Bismarck. Washington here prevented what threatened to be a loose 
confederacy of independent states. This monument, side by side with 
that of Maine, is a tardy recognition of the dead. 

It marks a period, following the Saratoga Convention, when Congress 
failed to support Washington and even the people withheld their 
sympathies. 

This memorial signalizes and proclaims the quality of some names 
and doings of Pilgrim forbears. The soldiers who served at Valley 
Forge were captains of industry as well as of patriotism. Some of 
their names are on the bronze tablet to testify that we now recognize 
their worth. The tablet is not large enough for the names of all, but 
it testifies to an awakened consciousness of what we owe these dead 
soldiers. 

By the erection of this Exhedra, Massachusetts testifies its recogni- 
tion of our obligations to the privates, subalterns, captains, field and 
staff officers, and general officers, whether they carried flint-lock mus- 
kets, espontons, pikes or swords. 

When Massachusetts views the Military Monument erected to the 
memory of these soldiers of 1777-78, and when we review the doings 
of our Revolutionary forbears then within the area of the Schuylkill 



14 INTRODUCTORY. 



Valley and its outposts, we have reason to be grateful to them. They 
numbered over forty per cent, of Washing'ton's entire effective army. 

Adjutant General Timothy Pickering's Valley Forge Return of Dee. 
29, 1777, forwarded by Washington to Massachusetts authorities on that 
date, and still preserved in the State Manuscript Archives, reports as 
follows : Aggregate strength, then, 4,404 Massachusetts soldiers of 
Glover's, Learned's and Paterson's brigades. There were eleven in- 
fantry regiments, exclusive of Crane's artillery, and the additional foot 
regiments of Colonels Henry Jackson, William Raymond Lee, David 
Henley and the infantry life gniard of Caleb Gibbs; also exclusive of 
our Massachusetts troops on the Hudson under Putnam, or the artillery 
of Colonel John Crane, or the infantry of General J. M. Varnum, of 
Massachusetts at forts on the Delaware. 

Of these effectives, Washington's letter of January, 1778, states that, 
" in nineteen days the ranks decreased near three thousand men." It 
is believed that a heavy percentage of this decrease was due to external, 
avertable causes, and neglects, that is, the disabilities were due to pri- 
vations and lack of supplies. 

For the deficiency in the matter of rations, clothing, blankets, etc., 
neither Washington nor the commonwealth of Massachusetts was re- 
sponsible. Recent investigation has flx:ed the responsibility. 

The state of the same Massachusetts regiments under Cols. Joseph 
Vose, John Bailey, Wm. Shepard, M, Jackson, Jas. Wesson, Thos. 
Marshall, Benj. Tupper, Saml. Brewer, Edw. Wigglesworth, Gamaliel 
Bradford and Timothy Bigelow, after six months' occupancy of Valley 
Forge — no reference being made to the other four Massachusetts regi- 
ments represented there in June, 1778 — is shown by the abstract of 
Deputy Muster Master Gen. William Bradford, Jr., lieutenant colonel 
of Pennsylvania, the original manuscript of which valuable abstract is 
fortunately j^reserved in the historical society of the Keystone State. 

Desceiption of the Monument. 

Contractor: Van Amringe Granite Company of Boston. 

It contains 341 cubic feet; is composed of 29 pieces; weighs 59,- 
180 pounds. The smallest piece weighs over % of a ton. The 
largest piece weighs over 5 tons. It is made of Barre^, Vermont, 
granite, light, fine-hammered finish; from the Mill Stone quarry, a 
mountain that sold thirty years ago for $200, and out of which hun- 
dreds of thousands of pounds of granite have since been shipped 
to the Pacific Coast and Japan. Its dimensions are : width, 23 feet 
by 10 feet 10 inches; height of the pylon, or central tablet, 9 feet 
8 inches ; height from the floor to top of seat, 4 feet 2 inches ; length 
of the bronze panel, 5 feet 6 inches; bottom width of same, 3 feet 
3 inches ; top width, 3^ feet. 



INTRODUCTORY. 15 



The p3''lon, or central marker tablet, has incised into its granite 
face the inscription: "This monument is erected by a grateful 
commonwealth in memory of the soldiers of Massachusetts who 
served at Valley Forge 19 December, 1777-19 June, 1778/' 

The curved granite wings in the form of seats are incised with the 
legend : " Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem." 

The front face of the pylon is topped, in relief, by the bronze 
coat-of-arms of Massachusetts. The bronze panel on the reverse of 
the pylon inscribes the names, rank, and organization of one hun- 
dred and forty-six officers of Massachusetts troops of the rank of 
captain, or higher rank, who served at Valley Forge. These names 
are in relief. 

The phraseology of the hewed epitaph thoughtfully includes the 
words, " Grateful Commonwealth." They are well chosen. 

On the face of each of the Barre granite posts, or ends, of the 
enfolding wings, symbolic of parentage, the sculptor depicjts an 
officer's unsheathed sword in carved relief. The absence of the scab- 
bard is designedly suggestive. The delvings and research involved 
in the resurrection of the names, with the facts behind them, of 
the soldiers whose mention is on the cenotaph has been the act 
of a tireless, conscientious student of Eevolutionary Valley Forge 
history. 

The Value of Valley Forge. 

Valley Forge was the reveille of the army of the United States, 
the first call for which was sounded by Washington, who demon- 
strated that public safety required enlistments be made for the war, 
that confederation under one commander did not mean a crown, 
that Continental Congresses and Councils of War were inefficient 
to win campaigns, that unskilled volunteers were no match in the 
long run for well trained veterans, that they cost more, that a stand- 
ing army was not a thing to be dreaded, that he wished the free 
holders, the plain people, the independent farmers, the humble 
school house people to be the advance guard trained under able, 
experienced commanders, bound to one another, to their officers and 
their united country until their work was done. 

Had Washington's army at Valley Forge been destroyed or scat- 
tered, the conquest of the Hudson and the separation of New Eng- 
land from the Middle States might have been an easy task. The 
Massachusetts troops at Valley Forge were of the foremost actors 
in the various movements which culminated in that " more perfect 



16 INTRODUCTORY. 



union of states " secured by the Federal Constitution. Descent 
from them is an honorable heritage. 

At the occupation of Valley Forge by armed American soldiers 
from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Ehode Island, 
on the one part; Virginia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, 
and, perhaps, Pennsylvania on the other — it was a question of the 
establishment of a union of states ; of union with liberty ; of politi- 
cal existence; of reconciling divergent interests; of filling an abyss; 
of maintaining an equilibrium and pooling issues; of creating a 
mutual community of interests, sympathies and action. 

Valley Forge is the place where the crisis menacing the American 
Eepublic was averted. The only tie of common sympathy between 
the sections east of the Hudson, the Middle States, and the South- 
ern, was a coalition to be independent of Great Britain — but there 
was no concord in the coalition. Had the coalition disintegrated, 
the isolated elements might have been separately paralyzed by Eng- 
land. 

The American soldiers at Valley Forge bivouacked amid De- 
cember's algid surroundings, without fires, shelter, or food. Then 
they built their own hovels. The camp grounds became a canton- 
ment of huts. These algid men were busy as well as watchful, but 
not with muskets, and stimulating battles. 

Typhoid, dysentery, pneumonia, diphtheria, spotted fever, small- 
pox, itch, lice and maggots were doing their work in the unaccli- 
mated regiments. 

Muffled drums did not beat as the dead were buried in trenches 
without identification, three thousand of them. The hospital rec- 
ords, the mortuary records of the Schuylkill Valley region have not 
been published. 

We have the authority of Henry Woodman's journal, published 
in the Norristown Herald and Free Press, August 14, 1850, for the 
statement that mortal remains of soldiers were laid at A^alley Forge 
without a stone to mark the spot where their moldering ashes sleep, 
" but not low in the ground, for they were often buried so near the 
surface as to be disinterred by hungry swine, and in places where 
the soil has been washed off, the decaying bones have been presented 
to view, some of which I have seen within the last thirty years." 

The grave5'-ard. Valley Forge, did not give to its dead any mark- 
ers or headstones. Nothing could more significantly emphasize the 
misery of the time, the winter of 1777-78, than the fact that no 
accurate, or even approximate record of deaths at Valley Forge 
has been found, nor is it known with certainty where the common 



INTRODUCTORY. ■ 17 



burial place is located. Of all the hapless victims of the bivouac 
or camp, but one New England man is known by name and sleeps 
in an identified grave. This John Waterman monument is the 
work of the Daughters of the Kevolution. A tie that binds Massa- 
chusetts to Valley Forge is the fact that several thousands of en- 
listed men from Massachusetts served there. 

The known representation at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, be- 
tween December 19, 1777, and June 19, 1778, by officers from 
counties and towns in Massachusetts, regiments of the line, Conti- 
nental army, under the personal command of General George Wash- 
ington, was as follows : — 

Barnstable county, five towns, eleven officers; Berkshire county, 
seventeen towns, thirty-two officers; Bristol county, ten towns, 
twenty officers; Essex county, sixteen towns, seventy-six officers; 
Franklin county, five towns, eight officers; Hampden county, nine 
towns, fifteen officers; Hampshire county, seven towns, ten officers; 
Middlesex county, twenty-nine towns, seventy-five officers; Norfolk 
county, eleven towns, twenty-nine officers ; Plymouth county, eleven 
towns, fifty officers ; Suffolk county, six towns, eighty-seven officers ; 
Worcester county, thirty towns, sixty-three officers. The province 
of Maine, then a part of Massachusetts, was represented at Valley 
Forge by nineteen towns and fifty-eight officers. Other states: 
Connecticut, five towns; New Hampshire, three towns; New York, 
three towns; Ehode Island, two towns; Maryland, Pennsylvania, 
Vermont and Virginia, one town each ; total for " other states," 
seventeen toAvns. There were in the Massachusetts regiments at 
Valley Forge : from France four officers ; unplaced, thirty-two 
officers. 

This gives a total of five hundred and ninety-one officers, ranging 
in rank from ensign to general, representing one hundred and 
seventy-five cities and towns of Massachusetts. 

An interesting feature of the program was the unveiling of the 
screen of the Presidents' Pew. As the Phcenix Military Band 
played " America," the Hon. Frank Goodwin unveiled this mag- 
nificent memorial of Washington and his Major Generals at Valley 
Forge. 

General Eeade at the close of the program offered a resolution 
of thanks to Mr. Burk for the use of the Chapel, and this was 
adopted by a rising vote. 

In responding to the expression of thanks, Dean Burk said : — 



18 > INTRODUCTORY. 



Washington has been well called the Father of his Country. The 
Washington Memorial Chapel dedicated to his memory, must be as com- 
prehensive in its character as his national fatherhood. Here all Ameri- 
can patriots must feel at home, and so you are here to-day not through 
privilege, but of right. We rejoice in your presence to-day and our 
welcome is only the welcome home. 

(Conclusion of Address of Brig. Gen. Philip Eeade, U. S. A., 
Chairman of the Massachusetts Military Monument Commission, — 
delivered at the Washington Memorial Chapel, 18th Nov., 1911, at 
the Dedication of the Massachusetts Militar}^ Monument at Valley 
Forge.) 

These five hundred and ninety-one named officers of Massachusetts 
Organizations kept company at Valley Forge, with the following 
named officers of other states; some of whom are found in the orders 
signed by Washington's favorite Adjutant General, Col. Alexander 
Scammell, from Mendon, now Melrose, Mass., viz. : — 

Brig. Gen. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, born at the Trappe, Pa. 
Brig. Gen. Anthony Wayne, of Chester Co., Pa. 
Brig. Gen. Arthur St. Clair, of Pa. 
Brig. Gen. Edward Hand, Ireland and Pa. 
Lt. Col. William Bradford, Jr., of Pa. 
Capt, John Irvin, 2d Pa. Regt. 
Capt. Benjamin Fishbourne, 4th Pa. Regt. 
Brig. Gen. George Weedon (Gerhard von der Wieden), of Va. 
Brig. Gen. William Woodford, Carohne Co., Va. 
Brig. Gen. Charles Scott, Cumberland Co., Va. 
. Col. Daniel Morgan, the Virginia Rifle Man.

Connecticut had : — 
Brig. Gen. Jedediah Huntington, of Norwich. 
Surg. Albigenee Waldo, 1st Conn. Regt. 

Glimpses were had at Valley Forge of : — 
Gens. Thomas Mifflin and James Potter, of Pa. 

Prance sent us for service at Valley Forge : — 
The Marquis de Lafayette. 
Gen. Louis Lebique Duportail, two of whose Valley Forge maps are 

herewith presented. 
Thomas Antoine de Maduit du Plessis. ' 

Bavaria gave us Maj. Gen. John Baron De Kalb. 

Thaddeus Koseiusco and Casimer Pulaski from Poland came. 

The Partizan Corps of " Light Horse Harry " Lee of Va. had no 
better raider than Capt. Allen MeLane of Delaware. These seven 
soldiers all served at Valley Forge. 

Many historians have described Valley Forge, perhaps, Trevelyan 
best of all, — but the doings and the designation of the doers remain 
undeseribed. Many searchlights are needed. These men made history. 
The shadowy period of the American Revolution ended at Valley Forge. 
Saratoga overshadowed it. It is a field which will well reward ex- 
ploration. Daniel Webster erred when he said, in *' New England's 
Dead ", — " The world knows it — their history — by heart." 

No state is so rich as Massachusetts in unpublished, original docu- 
ments relating to Valley Forge. The Revolution had its origin in 
Massachusetts. New England furnished 118,355 men. Henry Knox 
reported that the Old Bay State furnished 67,907 men. It was in 
Valley Forge, rather than in great battles, that Massachusetts patriot- 
ism showed most clearly. New England hardly knew the presence 
of hostile soldiers after March, 1776. Thermopylae had three hundred 
deaths and a single survivor. Its story is known. Valley Forge had 
thousands of deaths and thousands of survivors. Its history has not 
been chronicled, although its actors wrote many letters from there. 
We never know what our Revolutionary ancestors did for us until 
we study their records. Disease at Valley Forge filled eleven hospitals. 
The camp had a hideous reputation as being a graveyard in 1777-78. 
No compilation in published existence gives a complete record of 
Massachusetts Regimental Rosters. A military historian with facts 
and data behind him of Massachusetts soldiers at Valley Forge, 1777- 
78 is needed. 

It is hoped that monuments from each of the original Colonies will 
soon punctuate the scene of this Valley Forge Campiug Ground, in 
addition to the hundred thousand dollar Archway now about to be 
erected here by the Federal Government. Further, that at the next 
dedication services here, representatives from France, Germany, Russo- 
Poland, as well as England, including the President of the United

ticipants as guests of the Nation.

COMPAEISON. 

Some Fads regarding the Numbers from Massachusetts in the Civil 
War and the War of the Revolution. 

The State of Massachusetts furnished for army and naval service 
in the Civil War 159,165 men.^ The total number of Massachusetts 
men who served on sea and land during the Eevolutionary War has 
been estimated as between 135,000 - and 140,000. The population 
of the State in 1776 was 338,627 =^ and in 1856 amounted to 1,267,- 
031.* This means that during the Civil War 12 per cent, of the 
population saw service, while in the Eevolutionary War over 39 per 
cent, saw such service. A complete history of nearly every regiment 
in the Civil War has already been published, and the State has 
spent on their behalf $18,000, yet this is the only attempt so far 
made to write the history of the organization, achievements and 
personnel of the regim.ents in the Revolutionary War.^ 

' Report of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, January 1, 1866, p. 16. 

2 Heitman in the " Historical Register of the Officers of the Continental Army," last page, 
estimates the entire land forces furnished by Massachusetts in the Revolutionary War as 87,907, 
while a careful estimate made by Mr. James J. Tracey, Chief of the Archives Department at 
the State House, places it as 91,000. Mr. Tracey and many others believe that the sea forces dur- 
ing that war amounted to at least one-half as many more.
